Democratic National Convention Day 1 Highlights:

On the first day of the Democratic National Convention, delegates of the United States Democratic Party called unity among democrats to defeat Donald Trump. Prominent speakers included Senator Bernie Sanders and former First Lady Michelle Obama. The star of the opening session, Michelle Obama, led the charge against Trump, saying: "If you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me, they can; and they will if we don't make a change in this election. If we have any hope of ending this chaos, we have got to vote for Joe Biden like our lives depend on it."

While she heaped praise on Biden as a "profoundly decent man" who can "rescue the economy" and "lead the nation", she was silent on his running mate Indian-American Kamala Harris.

At the convention, Bernie Sanders, who dropped out of the presidential race clearing way for Biden, acknowledged that there were differences between him and Biden on several issues but said that he would end Trump's climate of "hate and divisiveness" and move in a progressive direction. Sanders said the nation was facing the "most important election in history" as Trump was leading the country towards authoritarianism and asked the "millions" of his supporters to line up behind Biden.

A few Republicans also spoke on the Democratic National Convention. Former Ohio Governor John Kasich, a "lifelong Republican", said that the vitriol and divisiveness that Trump had unleashed has "terrible consequences for our nation's soul" and that was why he was crossing party lines to back Biden. Fellow Republicans, former New Jersey Governor Christine Whitman and Susan Molinari, who was the keynote speaker at the 1996 Republican Convention, joined him in endorsing Biden.

Democratic National Convention Day 2 Highlights:

Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention included Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, former President Bill Clinton and Joe Biden's wife Jill Biden. The second night of the convention featured the formal nomination of Joe Biden as the Democratic Party's candidate to take on President Donald Trump in the November election. Biden won the majority in a roll call of states in which a young Indian American student, Bianca Shah, delivered Maryland's votes for him. The roll call came after he was endorsed by former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter and the daughter of President John Kennedy and her son.
